Independent software studio.
Yutani Labs builds focused iOS apps that do one useful thing well — and respect the people using them.
We are a small, independent studio based in Virginia. Our work centers on practical tools: apps that take a task people find opaque or tedious and make it clear enough to act on.
We build for Apple platforms, using native frameworks rather than cross-platform wrappers, because the result is faster, more accessible, and better behaved on the devices people actually carry.
How we build
On-device by default
Our apps do their work locally. When a tool has no reason to send your data somewhere, it shouldn't — so ours don't. No accounts, no analytics SDKs, no tracking, no servers quietly collecting what you typed.
Native, accessible, tested
Everything is built with Swift and SwiftUI against current Apple frameworks. VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type, and Dark Mode are requirements rather than afterthoughts, and the work ships behind an automated test suite.
Honest about what a tool can tell you
A calculator that projects false confidence is worse than no calculator. Where our apps estimate rather than know, they say so plainly and show the reasoning behind the number.
Current work
Our first product is Moneyfactor, an auto-financing calculator for iOS that helps people understand lease and loan offers — including whether the money factor a dealer quoted has been marked up over the lender's buy rate. More about what we're building →
